A General History of the Sabbatarian Churches / Embracing Accounts of the Armenian, East Indian, and Abyssinian Episcopacies in Asia and Africa, the Waldenses, Semi-Judaisers, and Sabbatarian Anabaptists of Europe; with the Seventh-day Baptist Denominaton in the United States

The work surveys the history and geographic distribution of communities that observe the seventh-day Sabbath, tracing their presence in Armenian, East Indian, and Abyssinian episcopacies, European groups such as the Waldenses, semi-Judaizing sects, and Sabbatarian Anabaptists, and various Seventh-day Baptist bodies in the United States. It compiles doctrinal descriptions, liturgical practices, testimonies, organizational details, and accounts of persecution, arranging material by region and denomination. The author presents the view that the shift from seventh- to first-day observance arose through later ecclesiastical decisions rather than apostolic enactment, and cites remote churches as evidence of longstanding seventh-day practice.
